Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRappell is our selection, sitting on top of our figures in this field of seventeen at Limerick over six furlongs on firm ground, two pounds clear of his nearest rival on our figures. He's yet to win in his recent starts, but that rating gap gives him the benefit of the doubt in this race. I'm Spartacus, just two pounds behind and successful three starts back, is the most obvious danger, with Jazzy Dancer and Notforalongtime also representing solid threats on figures. Confidence in Rappell is high given the size of that rating edge.
